LOL! Plan ahead and get some GR Meets organised so you can meet as many peeps off here as possible....

Lots of time going through grave yards lol!

Wish I had done that before I came, although I did do a fair bit...but it is never enough hey!

I agree Ally, we went abroad for a couple of years, and I then thought to myself that Australia has so many beautiful beaches it is daft to go elsewhere! So we have spent the last few years going on very short trips to different states (when mum could babysit Joe) and see this wonderful country!

You don't remember much? Would you like to return?

My kids came over at 8 years and 3 months, so Emma remembers lots, but of course Joe is an Aussie kid, but really wants to see the snow, so have to get down to the snowfields this year as only a couple of hours drive.
